TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
When I go to the air show in Oshkosh, Wisconsin every year one of my favorite things to do is to look at the vintage Airplane Manuals. Some of them are so beautiful. If you ever get a chance to peak at any old manuals from the Pre-WW2 years and the early Post War years..do it. They are really something and the writing is fun too...it is almost like they took pilots who have a special love for planes and had them write them. It is really fun...unfortunately, they ain't cheap!
